Show Notes

In this episode, we talk to Norah, a kindred spirit who has had a long career in education as a teacher, supervisor, and organization leader, and in world language educational publishing as an author, trainer, and director of professional development. Norah is a certified Gallup Strengths Coach and has her own consultant business, Fluency Consulting LLC. Norah shares her story of how she “fell into teaching to avoid cows” and how her many experiences have led her to discover the many strengths in herself and to lead others to do the same. She speaks of how important vulnerability, hope and humanity are to success in the classroom. Norah also gives very sage advice to all teachers, and humans really, of how to build relationships both in and out of the classroom through three basic steps of “affirming, engaging and inviting”.
